HOW TO VISIT 6 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WITH 165 EURO

By -
I always wanted a long trip in Europe, keeping in mind that I already visited some countries. Moreover, I wanted to feel the travel ''print'' as I would train myself for a Trans-Mongolian journey.

Today I am back with a post on how to visit 6 countries spending 165 euros, creating a mix of plane tickets bookings with buses and trains.

The route is Romania-Italy-Germany-Poland-Czech Republic-Slovakia-Budapest-Romania.



The trip would start from Rome. If you are from Europe, for sure you can get cheap tickets to Italy (WizzAir, Easy Jet, Ryanair). For example, a ticket from Timisoara, Romania to Rome was 35 euro. If adding a big cabin luggage, the ticket price is 43 euro per person.


Here you have an itinerary I booked for myself for a 15-day trip for the 16th of December to the 1st of January.

Budapest- Timisoara (train)

Depart 01 Jan  at 15:10
Arrive 01 Jan at 21:45
Price:15 euros per person

Keep in mind that when searching for trains to Venice you get the option of Santa Lucia and Mestre. The one you need is Santa Lucia, Mestre being outside of Venice.

As I visited Venice in 2014, I chose to spend just a day, arriving in the morning and departing at night.

I recommend booking tickets in advance for the routes within Italy because they are subject to availability (meaning if there are less on sale tickets, the price goes higher). For example, I missed the economy tickets for Rome-Venice when they were 9 euros per person, for the same train. 

Also, another good place for booking is http://www.trenitalia.com/ 

I will be back with pictures in December.

Do you intend of arranging a similar trip in Europe? Let me know and I am more than happy to help.

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The...

3 NATIONAL PARKS NOT TO MISS IN MONGOLIA

The intersection point between Russia and China, Mongolia is a perfect stopover for those who are interested in local culture, sports and recreation or discovering a new way of travelling: spending a day with a Nomadic family. Most of the nationalities would require a Mongolian visa (there are some exceptions, for example, the citizens of the United States do not need one. Check the details with the Consulate in your country before travelling). What I find great about Mongolia is that you can combine your experiences into one and you can make it a real adventure: have a hike, visit a local family, go horseriding, take cooking classes for a day or two and spend at least one night in a Ger Camp. How to get to Ulan Bator? Depending when you are travelling, you have a direct train from Moscow twice a week (train 004, train 006). There is a daily train from Irkutsk to Ulan Bator (a two-day ride) or depending on the departure day, you can get train 004 or 006 that goes from Moscow. ...

Excited to plan a trip to Bratislava? (We WERE!) Even if Slovakia is not on the bucket list of most of the travelers, it does not mean it is not a great place for short visits. Being situated between great European capitals, the city seems a bit forgotten. How we got there? We took the Eurolines bus from Prague and we were there in 4 hours. The ticket was ONLY 10 euros! Check out the ticket prices here.                                                      Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Why Bratislava? Bratislava is a tiny capital that gives you a feeling that you belong there. It is a small one, but this is not taking away its qualities of the perfect place for a city break or a stopover for your Euro-trip. The narrow streets send you back in time for a walk for...
